Richard Vaughan+FollowHerpes Can Hack Your DNA in 1 Hour?!Mind blown: scientists just found out that herpes (yep, the virus behind cold sores) can literally rewrite your DNA in under an hour after infection. It’s not just hijacking your cells—it’s making permanent changes to your genome to help itself multiply. The wild part? Over two-thirds of people under 50 carry it, even if you never see symptoms. But there’s hope: researchers found an enzyme that might stop this DNA takeover. Science is wild! #HerpesVirus #DNA #ScienceNews #Science30Share
Kristi Key+FollowHerpes Virus: The DNA Interior Designer?!Did you know the herpes virus (HSV-1) isn’t just sneaky—it’s basically a DNA interior designer? Within an hour of infection, it totally rearranges your genome’s 3D layout to make itself at home and start multiplying. Scientists just found that blocking one enzyme (TOP1) can stop this viral makeover in its tracks. Imagine if this leads to a real treatment—no more lifelong cold sores! Wild how viruses can literally remodel our DNA to suit their needs. #ScienceNews #HerpesVirus #DNAMysteries #Health #BodyHealth171Share
